Dude - this is BRITAIN! Everyone eats fish & chips and meat pies. Kidney pies on Sundays, I think.

That's completly untrue, I wish people would stop perpetrating myths and stereotypes about British life. On Sunday, it's roast beef, potatoes, carrots, peas, Yorkshire puddings and lots of gravy. Kidney pies are on Saturdays, during the footie.

Remember that sexism, by definition, can only be against women and that it's impossible for women to be sexist against men

Actually, under UK law it can be either way round. Section 2 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 states "Section 1, and the provisions of Parts II and III relating to sex discrimination against women, are to be read as applying equally to the treatment of men, and for that purpose shall have effect with such modifications as are requisite".

For example, if living in an apartment building I *feel* my chances of getting robbed are higher on the ground floor. I'm sure statistics prove me wrong but that's how I feel.

No, statistics would prove you right, which is why ground floor apartments have higher insurance costs. Considering the majority of burgalries are opportunistic, it's no great surprise.

Yeah, but good luck finding a mobile data package with a decent data usage limit. In the UK at least the limits are stupidly low, even on the packages advertised as 'unlimited'. In some cases the 'unlimited' packages can have limits of 500MB/month and charge per the MB above that - and they get away with it because they told the Advertising Standards Authority that 500MB was more than any 'reasonable' person would use in a month.
